Share This article

Tim Tebow gave one very special fan the surprise of a lifetime during a visit to Disneyland.

Tebow showed up to spend the day with Mario, who was born two months premature in the back of an ambulance and wasn't expected to live. He has two rare syndromes that resulted in facial paralysis and the inability to walk or stand.

Mario spent several hours with his hero riding rides at the theme park and playing games.

Despite the challenges Mario is faced with everyday because of his disabilities--he says he likes the way God made him.

The meeting was made possible by Tebow's W15H Foundation which helps children with life-threatening diseases fulfill their dreams.
